There's gonna be sixteen posts here, so keep your shirts on! The book is 4 3/4" X 5 1/2" (I hope it works) The Universal can do anything any other cleaner can do only backwards and in high heels!

pages 2,3 The Universal comes with everything you need to perform all cleaning tasks around the home....except a cord. Good luck with that one!

pages 10,11 If your old man had coughed up the extra $1.45 for the cord, you would actually be cleaning now.

pages 12,13. Unfortunately, that stair will never get clean, and the machine has become a tripping hazard! Lady, you obviously skipped a page...you are NEVER supposed to move the cleaner again!

pages 14,15. It is suggested that you stick the hose right into the burning embers. That way maybe the old man will spring for a new one.......WITH A CORD!!! Pesky insects avoid the kitchen unless you are boiling cabbage

Must be the pre-war dry cell battery pack model.
I think this is the first vacuum manual - photo or line drawing - that doesn't show a cord in a single picture. Oh those folks at Universal were clever... Perhaps hubby built his own version of the Wardenclyffe tower in the back yard? Dave CLICK HERE TO GO TO aeoliandave's LINK | ||

I particularly like this side of the leaflet... It shows all the sales aids available. I would love to have one of those counter signs...maroon with chrome-faced letters for $1.80! There's Universal's carrying case (chest).

OMG, OMG, OMG! Just had a Universal/Kenmore/Eureka revelatio
Rick, could you do cropped scan of the lower right corner showing the Universal on the cart? By screwing up my eyes I can almost tell that is the very same 'kenkart' type trolley my Kenmore Commander came strapped in to. The wide strap with snap fasteners looks the same! Btw, the handle is in two parts and I turned mine around to tuck it into the corner. I knew at the time it wasn't the official Kenmore Ken-Kart and figured it was some Fits-All aftermarket trolley for any cylinder. Come to think of it, I seem to recall something about Universal labeled on the bottom, but of course I always assumed that meant Generic universal fit. Later today I will pull it out of the corner and take way too many pictures of the Mystery almost Solved Cart. Dave, re-thinking assumptions. :-)

Dave!!! Cord Alert! Hey Dave, The pic on the stair-case does show the cord. It is black, rubber, very flexible, easy to coil!! The plug, however, remains a mystery!!!! Rick | ||

Universal calls theirs the Roll-A-Vac Carrier. Mine's labeled the clumsier off the tongue Car-Ree-Vac Model 2-A made by the Car-Ree-All Products, Inc., Minneapolis Minnesota. Looks for all the world like the same darn contraption. My guess is Car-Ree-All supplied these to Landers Frary & Clark's UNIVERSAL Division.

The chromed sprung steel thingies on the back serve no structural purpose as the handle fits snugly into the base secured with rubber washers and wing nuts. I determined tho that they act as sled skids to pull the cart smoothly up and down the stairs without fouling on the wheels. Ribbed rubber panels to keep the cylinder from getting marred and a deep well for splitting and directing free exhaust down and up the front & back so no floor bunny blasting. It will, however, blow her dress up...

Perfectly scanned, Rick. Thankyou for solving the mystery id
Clearly the self-same vacuum cylinder 12" x 14" cart right down to the rubber capped front feet, gleaming chromed frame & stair gliders and wide belt with snaps running under the handle. Ratz, now I'm gonna have to find a Universal Cylinder, since the Commander has wheels and front skid. Mine doesn't have a heavy Duck attached to the back though. :-( Perhaps I could substitute a rubber chicken...the hose pocket is capacious enough for a Butterball turkey... Dave | ||

When I would "view" the scanned image, you couldn't see the lady, and the picture of the cart was nice and big. But when I post it or print it, this is what I get. | ||
